NFL Schedules - Fantasy Spin

AFC South

Houston Texans

The Texans will enjoy the first two weeks of the season against the Chargers and Titans, but the four weeks that follow will not be as kind, against the Ravens, Seahawks, 49ers and Rams. The Fantasy Gods rewarded the Texans with a fantastic schedule the rest of the way, so be sure to target Texans players in Week 5 and 6 in hopes their owners are doubting their draft strategy. RB Arian Foster could win fantasy games by himself in the first round of the fantasy playoffs when he faces the Jaguars.

Indianapolis Colts

The Colts ease into the season with two games in Indianapolis, including a home opener against the always-generous Raiders. An improved offensive line should help the Colts hold their own and give QB Andrew Luck more time to find WR Reggie Wayne, WR T.Y. Hilton and WR Darrius Heyward-Bey downfield. Facing the NFC West is not ideal, but that's countered by the fact Indy plays in the AFC South, a division which includes the Titans and Jaguars. If healthy, RB Ahmad Bradshaw is someone to keep an eye on.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Much like the Colts, Jacksonville starts its season with a couple winnable games against the Chiefs and Raiders. Not having WR Justin Blackmon for the first four weeks will hurt, but if RB Maurice Jones-Drew is healthy, then the offence should be able to move the chains. Trouble starts in Week 3, when the Jaguars begin playing their hardest matchups on the road, playing at Seattle, at St. Louis, at Denver,and against the 49ers in London. It doesn't get much better than Week 15 and Week 16 games against the Bills and Titans.

Tennessee Titans

The Titans are hoping that upgrades on their offensive line will help RB Chris Johnson return to form. Johnson could tear it up from Week 3 to Week 5, the only issue is that stretch is bookended by games against the Steelers, Texans, Seahawks and 49ers. The second half of the year should be nicer to the Titans' offence, and may give WR Kenny Britt and/or WR Kendall Wright a chance to shine, assuming QB Jake Locker can provide adequate play under centre.
